I recently went for a beautiful hike in the Michaux State Forest. As always I was surrounded by beauty, but this time I noticed something different on the floor of the forest– a wide variety of Fungi. I don’t think I had realized until that day how many various shapes and colors of mushrooms were in the forest. I soon began to see a different mushroom around every turn. Here are just a few:

Unbelievalbe color!!!

This is more a ‘typical’ color

BOLD!!

These little fellas were almost glowing.

Loving the purple!

Just plain cute 🙂

I wish the picture was clearer…it was a very ‘fancy’ mushroom.

As I walked along taking pictures of a variety of fungi, I caught sight of my husband ahead of me on the trail and began to chuckle as I thought of the pun…a hike with fungi and a fun guy. (ok, I’m easily amused. 😉 )

The ‘fun guy’, my husband 🙂

I guess to be accurate I should say I was hiking with 2 fun guys…one who walked on two legs and one who walked on 4 legs. Our faithful dog, Denver, was along for the enjoyment.

It was a day where I was able to appreciate many types of beauty in nature. Along with the fungi and the fun guys, there were also many other beautiful sights. I took ALL of them in.
